Hidden In High School ~ (Garroth x Reader)

Our Little Secret ~ Chapter 5

Your POV

"Garroth, wanna do the history project with me?" I ask, sitting on the couch with him. "Sure. I've never had a partner for a project before." He answered. "Er, aren't they, you know, required?" I giggled. "The teachers don't really notice me." He said. "Sometimes, you are really depressing." I joked. He kinda just looked at me with those icy blue eyes. "Um... Earth to Garroth?" I said, waving a hand in front of me. "OH! Sorry, heh. It's just- you've changed so much since the first time we met." he said. "Yeah.. I'm less... suicidal." I said awkwardly. "Um, anyway, when do you want to properly hang out?" He asked, changing the subject. "PPPPROPER!" I said with a posh accent, making him laugh. "MY LIFE GOAL! I MADE YOU PPPPROPERLY LAUGH!" I giggled. He grinned. "I can be fun if I want to!" He said sternly. "Prove it." I said."Is that a challenge?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. I squint my eyes. "Yes!" I laugh. "Challenge accepted! Follow me!"

He started dragging me out of the building. "Don't ask questions!" He said. Out of the corner of my eyes, I think I saw Laurence shooting us death glares. Ignore!

"Here we are!" He finally said. "Woah..."

We were in a large field full of purple and blue flowers. The grass was up to my calves, but I ignored the itchy feeling it gave me.

"Garroth... this is amazing!" I squealed. "How long have you know about this?!" "A while now." He smirked. "No seriously, Garroth, I love it." I smiled. "It gets better! Follow me!" He said, marching through the tall grass.

"How can anything get better than- whoa..." I said, as I gazed at the beautiful sight in front of me. We were at the banks of a fairly large pond. Lily pads with vibrant pink flowers were littered all over the glassy surface of it, groups of cattails waving in the slight breeze on the soft sand. We sat down, looking at our reflections on the ripple-less water. "Does anybody else know about this place?" I asked. "As far as I know, it's just us." He said. "Good. Our little secret." I smiled. "Our little secret.." He repeated.

For a while, we sat in silence, admiring the landscape. Not awkward silence, comfortable silence. "It's getting late. We should go now." He said, breaking the quiet. "Okay, let's go." I agreed, standing up. On the walk back home, we occasionally talked about things. As we got to the apartment, I finally said, "Garroth.. you are fun." He chuckled at my comment, before opening my apartment door for me. "There you go, M'Lady." He said in a posh accent. "You'd think I just got back from a date!" I giggled. He nervously laughed, and I think I saw a blush rising on his cheeks. Probably just because of the chilly air outside. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." I said. "Bye Garroth." I said. He nodded, and walked away. He never says bye to me. (remember that <--)

After I closed the door, I sighed. I walked into my bedroom, and changed into some pajamas. Then, I heard a knock. "I'll get it.." I mumbled.

Garroth's POV (Get ready to major fangirl!)

Shoot, I forgot my watch! I turned around and began walking back down the creaky, hardwood floors of the hallways. When I reached (f/n)'s room, I knocked, and she answered. She was already changed. God dang it. Her (h/c) silky hair fell perfectly, and bounced with each step she took, and it perfectly complemented her (e/c) eyes. She was wearing a (f/c) crop top, revealing her smooth, tanned stomach, and some grey sweatpants. She also had pink bunny slippers.

"Hey Garroth! Watcha doing here?" She asked with a bubbly voice. Gah, I have a serious problem.. I should stay away from her... I shouldn't even know her... but I can't keep myself away.. "Uh, I forgot my watch.." I said. "Oh! Come on in, I'll grab it!" She giggled. I stepped through the wooden doorway into her tiny apartment. "Alllright here ya go!" She said, handing me my black and gold watch. "Thanks." I said. "Bye!" She grinned, as I walked out. "You too." I said naturally. I closed the door and walked off.

Hmm, I suppose I don't have to go home... I don't want to.. I could sleep on a bench? No, I need to go home.

I opened the partially broken door. "WHY ARE YOU HOME SO LATE!" My dad yelled. I stayed silent. "ANSWER ME YOU FOOL!" He added. "I had to get something to eat.. my apologies, Father." I said respectively. "YOU BETTER BE, BOY!" He shouted, throwing a book at me. I dodged, and walked into my bedroom. "IDIOT BOY!" He continued. "You should stop getting home so late." Zane whispered. "Can't help it." I replied. I hopped to the top bunk of our bunk bed. "Where do you keep going?" He asked. "A friend's place." I said. "You have a friend? Get outta here, you only talk to me and Dad." He said. "And this girl." I said. Shoot! I should have said guy... I will never here the end of this.. "You have a crush!" Zane gasped. No, she's more than a crush.. "No. Besides, even if we ever got together, which we won't, there's only two ways it could end. We break up and I would probably never speak again, or we get married and I burden her with Father." I said. "Oh my Irene you totally have a crush on her." He whispered. "Dream on, kid." I joked.

I could hear Father screaming and breaking things as I drifted off to sleep, just like every other night.

(Come on guys, we all know Garroth has family problems. Sorry this was short)
